My first saber, came to life thanks to help from Silver Serpent's patience and guidance. I fulfilled a childhood dream that started way back in 1978. It was so nice to hear that hum and see the blue illumination.
I found the wire-fu the most difficult and had to re-solder several times more than one connection, and had to start over on sending wires through the hilt a few times until i got it just right.
I am very pleased to introduce you to "THE REDEEMER" Bringing the light back to a dark universe. More Sabers to follow :)

Good work. Not bad for your first build.

PC, 7.4 battery. Really enjoyed the build...although frustrating at times... I am glad it turned out so well, have to paint it now. I already have plans on another saber. I am deciding on the inturnals at the moment. But not a build I am planning on soon. I want to enjoy the work and step into a larger world at the moment. I like challenges...and this was a good challenge for me. I am wondering if I should go for the CF on my next one or not. Those are decisions for another day. Today I have a complete saber!

Good job man. Isn't it a great feeling when you fire her up and hear that ignition sound?! Makes it oh so worth it. You definitely need another now so can do more than just look at it :).

I gotta say, that is a VERY large lightsaber. I'd go so far as to call it a lightclaymore. Not my particular style but I like it. Very cool, even if that blade holder is tremendous.

And I say this from experience - it doesn't stop at one. Or two. Or six. Heck you'll probably build the same essential design four times and name them different things... >.>
I look forward to seeing your future build(s).

I agree, and I will enjoy each and every one...although my next two are completely different. I have no names yet.

Nice work. Definitely a two-hander there. :)

I also want to thank you for your help, it was early on, but still wouldn't have happened without all the wisdom from the council members. Thank you!

Very nice saber =] Hardly see that blade holder much. Don't the long choke make the hilt kinda long though since the blade holder is somewhat large or is it just picture illusions? :P

Picture illusions... works for me.
